7th Grade Finance Park Field Trip Information
Between January 15, 16, and 17 Eastern Middle School 7th grades will participate in their Junior Achievement Finance Park Field Trip. During this trip your student will leave behind his or her life as a student and become an adult with a career, family, salary, credit score, and financial obligations in the fully digital, innovative, hands-on environment of JA Finance Park. At JA Finance Park, students begin to develop financial literacy and make decisions that are designed to prepare them for the future. They consider budget items such as buying a home, purchasing and maintaining a vehicle, budgeting for student loans and health care expenses, and choosing child care. Your child will be assigned to attend one of the three dates mentioned above, there is no cost for this field trip. Permission slips will be distributed in your child’s Social Studies class on Monday, December 9. Permission slips are due back to your child's Social Studies teacher by Friday, December 20.
